(Bonus points for buddy reads will only be given if the buddy read has taken place in this group.)
★ If books are long enough to count on their own (50/75/150 pages) they will be scored on their own.
If you read two novellas of 80 pages each, you will receive a 1 in the books read column as together they are over 100 pages, and 1 page point for each (2 points total), as each book is individually long enough to earn points. This applies to all types of points.
★ Bonus Points will be awarded to individuals based on claiming letters to spell out 'HAPPY NEW YEAR' and will match page points.

Hermione bonus points can be earned on books with more than 600 pages -
Over 600 pages unillustrated book = 12 points
Over 600 pages unillustrated childrens/middle-grade book = 8 points
Over 600 pages illustrated/poetry etc. = 4 points
*Mods will keep track of each team's points, using the following system -
Team Name:
__________|_Books_|_Buddy_|__Page___|_Bonus_|_Hermi_|__Total

This will be a team reading challenge which will run from January 1st 2023 to January 31st 2023. Results will be announced on February 1st 2023.
To complete this challenge, participants will be split into teams. Each team will read books of their own choice (which fit the challenge guidelines), and points will be awarded based on the length of the book, and whether you have buddy-read your book. You can also earn some bonus points for reading books which allow you to spell out 'Happy New Year'.
You may also choose to take part in this challenge as a solo participant ☺
